ANDREW KEEGAN A CULT LEADER? ME?!! Responds To THOSE Rumors
Andrew Keegan is addressing rumors he's a cult leader ... dismissing it all as nothing but clickbait and saying all he'd done was foster a cool community for people to gather in.
The "10 Things I Hate About You" star gave the rundown on "Pod Meets World" ... explaining he decided to start a community center named Full Circle in 2014 to do positive things after getting deeply immersed in Venice Beach's culture when moving there in his 30s.
However, his intentions were misconstrued ... that's what AK is saying, anyway. He explains he was shocked to learn he'd been anointed a cult leader in media reports at the time -- this after journos visited him to see what extracurricular activities he was up to amid his acting career.
Not long after, a startling Vice article surfaced, entitled, "One of the Stars of '10 Things I Hate About You' Started a Religion." In the article, the journalist claimed Andrew was known as the leader who had the "ultimate say on all things" ... adding they were greeted by a man named Third Eye and found themselves in the inner circle of "enlightened" members.
Andrew now says he probably could've done with some media training back then, but he's adamant there was no cult-leading going on, as was implied. In fact, he says it was the opposite ... FC was just a place for a bunch of people to get together for a good time.
It goes without saying, Andrew still recalls his time with FC fondly ... although, he says the only thing he regrets in hindsight is the group's name.
The actor acknowledges that Full Circle could've led to some misinterpretations over its intentions ... even though his message was innocent enough at the time, according to him.
Despite the scrutiny, Andrew says he's wearing the "cult leader" label like a badge of honor.

Jason Kelce Trying His Luck in Las Vegas ... Gambling Big $$$ Pre-SB

Jason Kelce's flying by on luck alone this weekend -- betting thousands at a craps table before Sunday's Super Bowl kickoff.
TMZ has obtained photos of the big Philadelphia Eagles center shooting dice at a craps table in The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas ... with eyewitnesses telling us JK was playing at a high roller's table in the luxurious Vegas hot spot.
We're told the minimum bet was $1,000 while the max was $5,000 ... a pretty penny for Jason, but nothing his reported career earnings of more than $81 million won't cover.
Kelce was letting it ride with his ride or die at his side -- Kylie Kelce stood alongside him, cheering him on with the little crowd that gathered around the Super Bowl champion.
Seems like he might've won a bit too ... we're hearing he was hootin' and hollerin' a bit after a couple throws -- so maybe he's made a few bucks at the table.
Of course, we all know why Jason's in L.V. -- his little bro Travis Kelce's attempting to win his third Super Bowl ring with the Kansas City Chiefs against the NFC champion San Francisco 49ers.
Jason's been a pretty public supporter of K.C. since his own Philadelphia Eagles were booted from the playoffs by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in embarrassing fashion last month -- a 32-9 slaughter by TB.

The Kelces are enjoying Vegas BTW ... with the couple even taking in an Adele concert -- where the 16-time Grammy Award winner said Jason sounded "drunk, and like you’re a football fan."
BTW ... Jason kept his shirt on in the casino as far as we can tell -- though it might not survive tonight's game if K.C. wins!!!

Bobbi Althoff Drake Not Responsible for Divorce ... Rising Fame to Blame
-
Exclusive
- 172 shares
Bobbi Althoff getting divorced is now being picked apart by fans who think Drake might've had something to do with it -- but we got the real story ... and it's far from that at all.
Here's the deal ... Bobbi's now-estranged husband, Cory, cited July 4, '23 as the day he and BA separated -- and the reason folks are hyper-focusing on this is because it just so happens to be around the time she aired her viral interview with Drake, where they're both in bed.
Of course, the speculation has been peaking -- with many suggesting Bobbi and Drake were, perhaps, closer than we saw ... and that they maybe had something going on BTS.
Welp, sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Drake was actually NOT a big fan of Bobbi toward the end of summer last year -- and that they had a major falling out post-interview, although they were friendly in the immediate aftermath.
Long story short ... we're told Drake and Bobbi continued texting after they had their famous lay-down chat -- and our sources say Drizzy even invited Bobbi to his L.A. concert on Aug. 12 ... which she attended. Unfortunately for her, only general admission was offered.
Our sources tell us Bobbi was genuinely angry about this -- apparently feeling she deserved to be in the VIP area with Drake's other celeb friends -- and she made her indignation known in a since-deleted video where she's standing around on the arena floor pouting about.
Not long after that went up ... Bobbi took the clip down, and within the same weekend -- she also took down the original nearly hour-long interview ... no explanation for either.
At the time, people were trying to figure out if they'd had a falling out -- and as it turns out, they absolutely did. Our sources tell us that when Bobbi was at the show ... her little video was reflecting how she actually felt -- namely, furious she'd ended up in GA.
We're told Bobbi blew Drake up about it that same night -- while he was onstage -- and that she even tried going backstage at one point ... but got rebuffed by security.
Not long after this ... we're told Drake's camp hit her team to demand she take down both the clip and the interview ... which she then did. At that point, we're told their friendship fizzled.
Now, in terms of whether they've patched things up since -- something Bobbi herself recently implied on Keke Palmer's podcast ... we're told they haven't. Bobbi told Keke they'd spoken in recent weeks ... but our sources tell us they have not. We're told they don't talk anymore.
On the issue of why Cory actually filed to divorce Bobbi -- it's a very simple explanation ... our sources tell us her skyrocketing fame and his desire to remain a normie was the main catalyst, and that it had nothing to do with allegations of cheating. Although, we're sure he probably didn't appreciate how cozy she was acting with Champagne Papi on tape.
In any case, now you got the real tea ... sip with caution, 'cause this is pipin' hot!

Drake no es responsable del divorcio de Bobbi Althoff Pese a las especulaciones
-
Exclusivo
- 5 shares
El divorcio de Bobbi Althoff está siendo observado bien de cerca por los fans que piensan que Drake podría haber tenido algo que ver con eso, pero tenemos la verdadera historia y está lejos de ser así.
Así es la cosa, Bobbi, el ex marido de Cory, citó el 4 de julio del 2023 como el día en que él y Bobbi se separaron, y la razón por la gente está conmocionada, es porque da la casualidad de que es muy cerca del momento en que salió al aire su entrevista viral con Drake, donde ambos están en la cama.
Por supuesto, la especulación ha llegado a su punto máximo, con muchos sugiriendo que Bobbi y Drake eran, tal vez, más cercanos de lo que pudimos ver, y que tal vez tenían algo pasando a escondidas.
Sin embargo, fuentes directas nos informan que Drake no era un gran fan de Bobbi hacia el final del verano del año pasado y tuvieron una caída importante después de la entrevista, a pesar de que se hicieron amigos inmediatamente después.
Nos dicen que Drake y Bobbi continuaron enviando mensajes de texto después de que tuvieron su famosa charla y nuestras fuentes dicen que Drake incluso invitó a Bobbi a su concierto de Los Ángeles el 12 de agosto... al que asistió. Por desgracia para ella, solo obtuvo la entrada general.
Nuestras fuentes nos dicen que Bobbi estaba realmente enfadada por esto, aparentemente sintiendo que merecía estar en la zona VIP con otros amigos famosos de Drake, y ella hizo saber su indignación en un video ya borrado donde ella está de pie en el suelo de la arena haciendo pucheros.
No mucho después de que lo subió, Bobbi quitó el clip, y en el mismo fin de semana también quitó la entrevista original de casi una hora de duración sin explicación aparente.
En ese momento, la gente estaba tratando de averiguar si habían tenido una pelea y resulta que así fue. Nuestras fuentes nos dicen que cuando Bobbi estaba en el show, su pequeño video estaba reflejando cómo se sentía en realidad, es decir, furiosa de terminar en la galería.
Nos dicen Bobbi no se comportó de la mejor manera esa noche, incluso trató de ir detrás del escenario en un momento, pero la seguridad la detuvo.
No mucho después de esto, nos dicen que el campamento de Drake golpeó a su equipo para exigir que retire tanto el clip y como la entrevista, y así fue como pasó. En ese momento su amistad se esfumó.
Ahora, respecto a si han arreglado las cosas desde entonces, algo que Bobbi dio a entender recientemente en el pódcast de Keke Palmer... nos informan que no lo han hecho. Bobbi le dijo a Keke que habían hablado las últimas semanas, pero nuestras fuentes nos dicen que no lo han hecho. Nos dicen que no hablan más
Sobre la cuestión de por qué Cory realmente le pidió el divorcio a Bobbi, muy simple, nuestras fuentes nos dicen que su fama y su deseo de seguir siendo un normie fue el principal catalizador y que no tenía nada que ver con las acusaciones de engaño. Aunque estamos seguros de que probablemente no apreciaba cómo acogedor que estaba actuando con Champagne Papi en la cinta.
En cualquier caso, ahora sabes bien que es lo que está pasando, ¡bebe con precaución, porque esto está que arde!

Mo'Nique Comparte evidencia de los remolques que volaron En el set de "Almost Christmas"
Mo'Nique hizo un montón de afirmaciones en el podcast de Shannon Sharpe, incluyendo que los remolques del set de una de las películas en las que trabajó habrían "volado" y está compartiendo información que permiten hacer seguimiento de la historia.
La comediante y actriz contó esta supuesta anécdota sobre la película de 2016 "Almost Christmas" en el programa "Club Shay Shay" el miércoles. La producción fue filmada junto a Danny Glover, Omar Epps, JB Smoove, Kimberly Elise, entre otros, y según ella, estuvo plagada de peligros.
En resumen, Mo'Nique sugirió que el productor Will Packer, un pez gordo de Hollywood detrás de toneladas de comedias y espectáculos en los últimos años, estaba tomando atajos y haciendo caso omiso de las señales de advertencia durante la producción. Habría incluso alegado que hizo la vista gorda cuando alguien le notificó que el elenco había estado oliendo gas cerca de algunos remolques, donde se vestían, etc.
Obviamente, se trata de una acusación importante, y al relatarla en el podcast, prometió que publicaría "pruebas" de ello después, lo que hizo más tarde ese mismo día.

Mo'Nique lanzó un clip el miércoles que parece mostrar exactamente de lo que estaba hablando. Esto es, que un remolque del set de filmación se quemó y que los bomberos tuvieron que ir a inspeccionar la escena. Ella no entregó más detalles ni información sobre a quién pertenecía ese remolque ni lo que condujo exactamente a que la caravana se destruyera, pero esto parece respaldar su historia.
Ella escribe: "HEY MY SWEET BABIES HERE ARE OUR TRAILERS FROM ALMOST XMAS THAT I SPOKE ABOUT ON CLUB SHAY SHAY DON'T TAKE MY WORD, SEE FOR YOURSELF. I LOVE US 4REAL". En base a los comentarios, parece que la gente le cree.
Esta es solo una de las MUCHAS acusaciones que Mo'Nique lanzó en el show, que sacó a relucir viejas rencillas entre ella, Oprah, Tyler Perry y otras personalidades con las que ha estado involucrada durante años.
No está claro si publicará más "pruebas", como por ejemplo, una supuesta grabación de audio de TC que dice que tiene, pero se pueden imaginar que está lista para soltar cosas.
Nos pusimos en contacto con el equipo de Will para que hicieran comentarios, pero hasta ahora no hemos tenido respuesta.
Mo'Nique Posts 'Evidence' Trailers 'Blew Up' On Set of 'Almost Christmas'
Mo'Nique made a lot of claims on Shannon Sharpe's podcast -- but one she followed up on with receipts includes a story about on-set movie trailers that she claims "blew up."
The comedian/actress told this alleged anecdote on "Club Shay Shay" Wednesday about the 2016 film 'Almost Christmas' that she filmed alongside Danny Glover, Omar Epps, JB Smoove, Kimberly Elise, and others ... a production she insisted was rife with danger.
Long story short ... Mo'Nique suggested producer Will Packer -- a Hollywood big shot behind tons of comedies/shows in recent years -- was cutting corners and ignoring warning signs during production of 'AC' -- even alleging he turned a blind eye when someone notified him the cast had been smelling gas near some of their trailers, where they got dressed, etc.
Obviously, it's a major allegation -- and in the moment of her recounting it on the pod ... she promised she'd post "evidence" of it afterward, which she then did later in the day.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Mo'Nique threw up a clip Wednesday that seems to show exactly what she was talking about -- namely, a movie set trailer all burnt up and damaged with firefighters surveying the scene. She didn't provide more details/info on whose trailer, specifically, this was ... or what exactly led up to the destroyed trailer, but on its face -- it appears to back up her story.
She writes, "HEY MY SWEET BABIES HERE ARE OUR TRAILERS FROM ALMOST XMAS THAT I SPOKE ABOUT ON CLUB SHAY SHAY DON’T TAKE MY WORD, SEE FOR YOURSELF. I LOVE US 4REAL." Based on the comments, it sounds like folks believe her.
This is just one of MANY allegations Mo'Nique floated on 'CSS' ... which dredged up old feuds between herself, Oprah, Tyler Perry, and others that she's been involved in for years.
Unclear if she's going to post more "evidence" -- like an alleged audio recording of TC that she says she has -- but ya gotta imagine she's ready to drop stuff at a moment's notice.
We've reached out to Will's team for comment ... so far, no word back.

Resurgen los insultos racistas y étnicos del cómico Shane Gillis Antes de ser presentador de "SNL"
El cómico Shane Gillis vuelve a estar en la mira: el anuncio de que será el presentador de "SNL" le recuerda a algunas personas los epítetos racistas que utilizaba en su época de pódcast.
Shane es conocido por su atrevida comedia de stand-up -es muy popular en YouTube y Netflix- y aunque no ha rehuido de su controvertido humor del pasado, resulta chocante escucharlo soltar insultos en medio de chistes anecdóticos.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Lorne Michaels y "SNL" contrataron a Shane en 2019, pero lo despidieron antes de que apareciera en el programa debido a las reacciones por los chistes antiasiáticos que había hecho en otro pódcast.
El contenido ofensivo proviene de un pódcast llamado "A Fair One", y Shane hace algunas bromas controvertidas, o al menos el lenguaje fue controvertido, ya que descargó la palabra con n, la palabra homofóbica y un insulto judío en particular.
Basado en la historia de Shane con "SNL", puedes apostar a que los productores saben que algo de este material está flotando por ahí en la Internet.
Cuando fue despedido en 2019, se disculpó diciendo: "Soy un comediante que empuja los límites. A veces fallo. Si repasas mis 10 años de comedia, la mayoría mala, vas a encontrar muchos fallos".
También dijo que se disculparía con "cualquiera que se haya sentido realmente ofendido por algo que haya dicho".
Es justo suponer que "SNL" siente que ha hecho las paces o evolucionado como comediante, porque lo han traído de vuelta como anfitrión.
Comedian Shane Gillis to Host 'SNL' After 2019 Firing For Racist Comments
Si usted está familiarizado con los especiales de standup de Shane, usted sabe que él dice un montón de chistes raciales y LGBTQ +, pero el material de pódcast se siente aún más polémico. Definitivamente no es el tipo de lenguaje que esperarías en su monólogo de "SNL".
Claro, es un programa nocturno, pero los censores de la NBC siguen vigilando.
Nos pusimos en contacto con el equipo de Shane, pero hasta ahora, no hay respuesta.
Comedian Shane Gillis Racial, Ethnic Slurs Resurfacing ... Before 'SNL' Hosting Gig
Comedian Shane Gillis is back under the microscope -- with 'SNL' announcing he's hosting, it reminds some people of the racial epithets he used in his podcasting days.
Shane's known for his edgy stand-up comedy -- he's very popular on YouTube and Netflix -- and while he hasn't shied away from his past controversial humor, it's jarring to hear him dropping slurs in the middle of anecdotal jokes.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Lorne Michaels and 'SNL' hired Shane in 2019, but fired him before he ever appeared on the show due to backlash over anti-Asian jokes he'd made on a different podcast.
The offensive content here comes from a podcast called "A Fair One," and Shane delivers some controversial jokes -- or at least the language was controversial ... as he unloaded the n-word, the homophobic f-word, and a particular Jewish slur, too.
Based on Shane's history with 'SNL' ya gotta believe producers know some of this material is floating out there on the internet.
When he got canned back in 2019, he apologized, saying ... "I'm a comedian who pushes boundaries. I sometimes miss. If you go through my 10 years of comedy, most of it bad, you're going to find a lot of bad misses."
He also said he'd apologize to "anyone who's actually offended by anything I've said."
It's fair to assume, 'SNL' feels he's made amends, or evolved as a comedian ... because they've brought him back to host.
Comedian Shane Gillis to Host 'SNL' After 2019 Firing For Racist Comments
If you're familiar with Shane's standup specials, you know he tells plenty of racial and LGBTQ+ jokes -- but the podcast stuff feels even edgier. Definitely not the kinda language you'd expect in his 'SNL' monologue.
Sure, it's late-night programming, but NBC's censors are still up and watching!
We reached out to Shane's team ... so far, no word back.

Shannen Doherty Tearfully Doubles Down on Claims ... A. Milano Got Me Fired!!!
Shannen Doherty is sticking by her claim that Alyssa Milano got her fired from "Charmed" ... getting choked up telling a crowd that she knows her truth, despite AM's recent denial.
Check out the video ... it's pretty dramatic. Shannen tells Orlando's MegaCon audience Sunday she's simply telling the truth about the situation "as opposed to the narrative that others put out there for me" -- this with her former costars Holly Marie Combs and Rose McGowan sitting supportively beside her.
She clearly gave a lot of thought to what she was gonna say ... even writing it down in pre-prepared notes which she read from during the "Who's the Boss?" panel.
Shannen makes it clear she and Holly weren't being "mean" when making the claims against Alyssa on her 'Let's Be Clear' podcast in December ... in fact, they say they later edited down the podcast to get rid of any extra deets that would likely cause more drama -- but remains adamant what remains is the truth "because the truth actually does matter."
Welling up with emotion, Shannen admits she felt compelled to address the matter following her stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis ... because there was no time more important than the present on getting the truth out there, at least what she considers the truth anyway.
SD says ... "There is no revisionist history happening in the truth that I know we told … There is no lateness to set, there is no mediator for months on end. I recall the facts as if I was still living in them."
Shannen reflects on the seriousness of the matter ... noting that while someone may call it all dramatic, it was an actual trauma she had lived with for an extremely long time -- and her cancer battle only served to heal her from the livelihood that was taken away from her and her family because "somebody else wanted to be No. 1 on the call sheet."
There's clearly no budging on Shannen's end -- and same for Alyssa, it seems ... who indirectly denied SD's allegations in another panel at the convention Friday ... saying she's "sad" by all of the "toxicity" surrounding the show. She added she was also upset that "people can't move past it" ... and that this was overshadowing the success of the show.
Milano, too, was brushing away tears on stage when she spoke last week ... so it looks like this is an incredibly sensitive/complex sitch that may need to be resolved behind closed doors. At this point, all the back and forth is getting ugly.

Shannen Doherty reafirma sus declaraciones sobre Alyssa Milano En "Embrujadas"
Shannen Doherty se mantiene firme en su afirmación de que Alyssa Milano hizo que la despidieran de "Embrujadas". Se emocinó diciéndole a la multitud que ella sabe su verdad, a pesar de la reciente negación de Alyssa.
Échale un vistazo al video, es bastante dramático. Shannen le dice a la audiencia de Orlando MegaCon el domingo que dice la verdad sobre la situación "en contraposición a la narrativa de otros", con sus ex coprotagonistas Holly Marie Combs y Rose McGowan sentadas a su lado apoyándola.
Ella claramente pensó mucho en lo que iba a decir, preparando unas notas de antemano que leyó durante el panel de "¿Quién es el Jefe?".
Shannen deja claro que ella y Holly no estaban siendo "malas" al hacer las afirmaciones en contra de Alyssa en su pódcast "Let's Be Clear" en diciembre, de hecho, dicen que más tarde editaron el pódcast para deshacerse de cualquier detalle extra que probablemente causaría más drama, pero sigue siendo firme en que lo que queda es la verdad "porque la verdad realmente importa".
Lleno de emoción, Shannen admite que se sintió obligada a abordar la cuestión después de su diagnóstico de cáncer de mama en estadio 4, porque no había momento más importante que el presente en conseguir la verdad, o al menos lo que ella considera la verdad.
Shannen dice: "No hay una historia revisionista en la verdad que dijimos, no hay retraso que establecer, no hay mediador durante meses y meses. Recuerdo los hechos como si todavía estuviera viviendo en ellos".
Shannen reflexiona sobre la gravedad del asunto, señalando que mientras alguien puede tildarla de dramática, fue un trauma real con el que vivió durante un tiempo extremadamente largo, y su batalla contra el cáncer solo sirvió para curarla del medio que le fue arrebatado a ella y a su familia porque "alguien más quería ser el número 1 en la hoja de llamadas".
Está claro que no hay ceder en el extremo de Shannen - y lo mismo para Alyssa, que al parecer negó las acusaciones de Shannen en otro panel en la convención del viernes, diciendo que está "triste" por toda la "toxicidad" que rodea el espectáculo. Añadió que también estaba molesta de que "la gente no puede moverse más allá de ella" y que esto estaba eclipsando el éxito de la serie.
Milano también mostró sus lágrimas en el escenario cuando habló la semana pasada, por lo que parece que este es un tema increíblemente sensible y complejo que probablemente tenga que resolverse a puertas cerradas. En este punto, todas las idas y venidas se están poniendo feas.
Comedian Shane Gillis Set to Host SNL ... After Racist Jokes Firing
Shane Gillis is finally going to take the "Saturday Night Live" stage ... four years after he was fired for racist comments before his first episode.
The controversial comedian will host the show on February 24 alongside musical guest 21 Savage -- a little over four years after he was fired from the program after jokes featuring racist and homophobic slurs came to light.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
As we previously reported ... SG was hired back in 2019 before a comment he made on "Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast" the previous year. You can watch the clip above ... it's pretty demeaning language.
Obviously, this comment caused a firestorm ... with an 'SNL' spokesperson saying Lorne Michaels and other execs had sat down with Shane and decided he wasn't the right fit for the show.
Shane responded at the time with the statement, "I'm a comedian who pushes boundaries. I sometimes miss. If you go through my 10 years of comedy, most of it bad, you're going to find a lot of bad misses." He also said he'd personally apologize to anyone who was offended.
Bowen Yang -- the prominent Asian American cast member of the iconic sketch show, who was hired the same year as Shane and is still on the show -- said he was going to sit down with Shane after the decision was made.
Yang will almost certainly appear alongside Gillis in the episode ... unclear if their convo ever went down or how he feels about the embattled comedian.
FWIW ... Gillis hasn't stopped saying controversial jokes over the years -- though perhaps they aren't as inflammatory as his 2018 comments.
However, he's still got fans up in arms over his hosting gig ... with many taking to social media to blast the NBC staple for allowing Shane the platform.
We'll have to wait and see if Shane addresses his firing on the show in a few weeks.
Stay tuned ...

Shane Gillis será presentador de "SNL" Tras su despido por comentarios racistas
Shane Gillis finalmente va a subir al escenario de "Saturday Night Live" cuatro años después de haber sido despedido por comentarios racistas antes de su primer episodio.
El polémico comediante será el anfitrión del show el 24 de febrero junto al invitado musical 21 Savage, un poco más de cuatro años después de que fue despedido del programa después de que salieran a la luz chistes con insultos racistas y homofóbicos.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Como informamos anteriormente, el comediante fue contratado en 2019 antes de un comentario que hizo en "Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast" el año anterior. Puedes ver el clip arriba... es un lenguaje bastante degradante.
Obviamente, este comentario causó una tormenta de fuego, con un portavoz de "SNL" diciendo que Lorne Michaels y otros ejecutivos se habían sentado con Shane y decidieron que no era el adecuado para el programa.
Shane respondió en ese momento con la siguiente declaración: "Soy un cómico que va más allá de los límites. A veces fallo. Si repasas mis 10 años de comedia, la mayoría de ellos malos, encontrarás muchos fallos". También dijo que se disculparía personalmente con quien se sintiera ofendido.
Bowen Yang -el destacado miembro asiático-americano del elenco del icónico programa de sketches, que fue contratado el mismo año que Shane y sigue en el programa- dijo que iba a sentarse con Shane después de que se tomara la decisión.
Yang es casi seguro que aparecerá junto a Gillis en el episodio y no está claro si su conversación fue en torno a cómo se siente respecto a la participación del comediante.
Gillis no ha dejado de decir chistes polémicos los últimos años, aunque tal vez no son tan inflamatorias como sus comentarios de 2018.
Sin embargo, todavía tiene a los fanáticos en armas por su actuación como anfitrión, con muchos tomando las redes sociales para arremeter contra NBC por permitirle participar a Shane.
Tendremos que esperar y ver si Shane aborda su despido en el programa en unas pocas semanas.
Manténgase en sintonía...
Ayo Edebiri se disculpa con JLo en "SNL" Por los insultos sobre su forma de cantar
Ayo Edebiri hizo un mea culpa en "SNL" el sábado por la noche, pidiéndole disculpas a JLo por haber insultado sus habilidades como cantante hace unos años.
La estrella de "The Bear" fue la anfitriona, pero el momento más destacado fue el sketch de "Jeopardy", llamado "¿Por qué lo dijiste?". Los concursantes se enfrentaron a mensajes crueles en redes sociales y el anfitrión Kenan Thompson exigió una explicación.
A Ayo le mostraron una foto de una mujer disfrutando de la lluvia, y según el sketch, ella había comentado: "Muérete". Es bastante gracioso, pero Ayo dijo esto: "Está mal publicar comentarios malvados solo por influencia o abrir la boca en un pódcast y no considerar el impacto porque tienes 24 años y eres estúpido, pero creo que hablo por todos cuando digo que a partir de ahora vamos a ser mucho más reflexivos sobre lo que publicamos en línea".
Ayo no hizo referencia a Jennifer López, pero es obvio lo que quiere decir. Como informó TMZ, Ayo estuvo en el pódcast "Scam Goddess" en 2020 y llamó a la carrera musical de JLo "una larga estafa". Ha habido mucha conversación a partir de estos comentarios desde entonces.
El sketch es bastante divertido, échale un vistazo.
